Treatment of confinement in the Faddeev approach to three-quark problems

A method is presented that allows to solve the Faddeev integral equations of the semirelativistic constituent quark model. In such a model the quark-quark interaction is modeled by a infinitely rising confining potential and the kinetic energy is taken in a relativistic form. We solve the integral equations in Coulomb-Sturmian basis. This basis facilitate an exact treatment of the confining potentials.
